In addition to the Hui-style architecture and folk houses that can be seen everywhere, there are also many ponds here. Although the water in the ponds is not transparent and clear, it is not dirty either. There are a lot of moss and duckweeds, and lotus flowers are in full bloom.
Spring is the time when peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, and pear blossoms are in full bloom. They are so beautiful, but they only have a flowering period of twenty days.
In other words, you can only see their flowers during the twenty days in spring.
The flowering period of the lotus lasts almost throughout the summer. When it blooms, it blooms in the morning and closes in the evening, just like people's work and rest. The beauty of the lotus is not inferior to these flowers, and there are also many poems about lotus left from ancient times to the present.
.
Chen Xing looked around.
If it is a general scenic spot, there will definitely be benches beside this kind of pond for tourists to sit down and rest, but there is not one here. This is just a village, and it is just a village.
The village is nice.
Better than tourist attractions.
Chen Xing took pictures of lotus flowers here for a while like an old mage. He wanted to take a boat on the shore and go to the center of the pond to have a look, but he couldn't row a boat and didn't know anyone else here, so he gave up with a sigh.
.
It should be mentioned here that this pond is not the pond with the white pagoda that Chen Xing saw on the mountain. That pond is on the edge of the village. In addition to the white pagoda, there is also a temple. The pond over there is bigger, at least
It is three to five times larger than the pond at the entrance of the village.
The road outside only leads to Chenjia Village, and no one else lives inside, so there are so few people on the road.
But when you come to the village, you can see a lot of people. Like most villages, there are people working in the fields outside and some playing in the lotus pond. It is quiet and peaceful.
It’s just like other villages, there are few young people.
Chen Xing has seen many rural areas in southern Yunnan or Sichuan Province. Generally, the left-behind children staying in the villages are relatively wild. Girls are a little better. There are basically few boys who are brightly dressed, but Chen Xing is here.
The children I met were very clean and polite.
Wandering around, he soon saw a primary school called Chenjiacun Primary School.
It looks like a village-run primary school, but the decoration inside is very good. Although it is not up to the standards of big cities and the area is small. But it is very well-built. When you look in from the door, the houses inside are decorated in the same style as village houses.
Exactly the same.
Going further, Chen Xing also saw a Chen Academy.
This academy should be an ancient building, right?
Chen Xing didn't realize anyone was guarding the building, so he walked in.
Before entering the house, you can only see the ancient wooden doors and white walls outside. After entering, you can see a huge, empty courtyard with a dozen huge columns standing under the huge hard gable roof.
The pillars are all painted that kind of black, but it's not pure black paint, so it's very elegant.
There are three table tennis tables in the corner, and some children are playing table tennis there.
Chen Xing doesn't know much about ancient buildings, but he has a little more knowledge than some ordinary people.
This academy is considered a third-level courtyard. It is a relatively new traditional ancestral hall-style building. Looking at the paint on the pillars and the exquisite wood carvings on the beams, Chen Xing knew that this was not a real ancient building, but a renovated one.<
/p>
But those are also ancient buildings, Chen Xing thought.
It is much better than others refurbishing it and making it look old again. It is unnecessary to take off your pants and fart.
The wooden carvings are also rare and exquisite. The Miao people also like to carve things on the door frames. Chen Xing has always liked it and thinks it is very powerful. But only when he got here did he know what the art of Han culture is and the craftsmanship of old craftsmen. Even the roof is not simple. The wooden koi carps have been painted and come alive on the roof.
The mouth is open, and depending on the position, it should be spitting out rainwater. It looks exquisite and appropriate in terms of design and meaning.
There are also buildings inside, but no one is guarding them.
When I walked in, I saw long tables and chairs with a modern blackboard in front of them. This was the only modern thing in the room, but it didn't seem out of place. In their generation's impression, there were no blackboards in classrooms.
That’s so unexpected.
There are rice paper calligraphy hanging on the wall. Some of them are good and some are bad, but there is no doubt that they are all better than Chen Xing's calligraphy.
In ancient times, this was either a government-run academy or a private school, right?
Chen Xing has always wanted to attend this kind of private school. He does not pursue diplomas, but only learns his own accomplishments and cultivates the temperament of a scholar... But he has read too many martial arts novels. The real situation is that Chen Xing has never seen a private school anywhere.
p>
It has long been banned by modern schools.
"The handwriting is so good..."
Chen Xing is very envious.
The more traditional a school is, the more emphasis it places on calligraphy.
Chen Xing's grandfather has passed away many years ago, but Chen Xing is deeply impressed by his calligraphy.
Although he only has a junior high school diploma, his grandfather's family was quite wealthy when he was young and he went to a private school. His calligraphy skills are amazing. He can write characters as small as a fountain pen, and his brush strokes are elegant and handsome.
It's a pity that grandpa passed away early and Chen Xing didn't learn more skills from him.
"What are you doing here alone?"
Chen Xing was startled when the voice came out.
When I looked back, I realized that they were two children. An older girl and a younger boy were probably here to play. After all, there is a lot of open space under the main hall, which is like a square for children. Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
"I am..."
A voice came from outside the door: "I'm here to find you!
”
"Hide quickly!"
The two siblings were panicking and trying to find a place to hide. Finally, they saw that Chen Xing was still standing there. They quickly went over and pulled Chen Xing to hide under a table... But to be honest, it was really conspicuous. This kind of child's seat could not be blocked.
How tall is Chen Xing’s height of 1.8 meters?
But no one discovered this problem, not even Chen Xing.
The three people were hiding in this small place, staring at each other.
My sister asked again in a very small voice: "Brother, are you a tourist?"
"Yes."
The little boy said: "What fun things do we have here? Why do tourists come here? Isn't it fun in the city?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"It's not fun." Chen Xing said.
What’s fun about the city is that there are many ways to entertain you in the city, and people use various ways to entertain you, but that kind of depressing life is never what people who yearn for freedom pursue.
After living in the city for a long time, anyone will have the idea of going back to the countryside to live a small life.
Of course, rich people say otherwise.
Once you have money, it’s really fun to be in the city.
"Did you come alone?"
"Yes."
"How pitiful!"
"..."
Their chats were basically children's curious inquiries. Chen Xing replied that he really couldn't think of any topics to talk to children about. This was not something he was good at, but things quickly turned around.
They were caught!
In hide-and-seek, the kid who was the 'ghost' saw Chen Xing as soon as he came in. Seeing that he was hiding, he subconsciously said: "I got you!"
Then the little girl and the child stood up together.
"You're awesome!"
"Who did you catch first?"
"Eh?" The child looked at Chen Xing, then at the two siblings... Why are there two more people?
Also, who is this adult?
He pointed at Chen Xing and signaled to catch Chen Xing first. He was very honest. Although Chen Xing did not play with them, he was definitely right to catch Chen Xing who was hiding as soon as he came in.
The little girl took Chen Xing's hand and said, "You are alone, do you want to play with us?"
"Should I forget it?"
"Come on, come on..."
As a twenty-year-old adult, who is at least seven or eight years older than them, I should not be interested in such childish activities, because adults have to look like adults... but why do I suddenly want to play?
What?
"How to play?" Chen Xing asked.
So Chen Xing and a group of children played games here for half an hour.
Chen Xing is very happy, really.
There is a difference between being happy and having fun. He was also very happy that night with Zhou Tong, but it was the happiness of adults. Today, this is the happiness of having fun with children, without using your brain at all.
After all, if they use their brains, these children will have nothing to play with.
But this happiness until...
"Hahahaha!"
The voice was a bit familiar, so I looked over and was stunned.
She is Chen Fuyong's girlfriend. Her name is very similar to her personality. She is a relatively quiet person.
Chen Xing was about to hide. He was already very familiar with the inside of this academy. Now he thought about going to the place where the books were placed and sitting and reading. He was caught as soon as he was caught. He felt that finding talents was the most fun. But what now?
He felt like two crows flew over his head.
How embarrassing.
"You come out for a walk too..." Chen Xing said.
"Hmm."
Chen Fuyong had other things to do when he came back, so he couldn't take Anjing around for the time being, but she was very interested in this village, so she decided to go out for a stroll. After all, as Chen Fuyong's girlfriend, he felt comfortable staying at their home.
Very uncomfortable.
When I saw this academy, I thought it was very beautiful. As soon as I entered, I saw Chen Xing.
The kid who was arresting the kid came over here and was puzzled when he saw that Chen Xing didn't hide. However, when he saw a big sister coming, he knew something was wrong with Chen Xing, so he asked, "Brother Xing, are you still playing?"
”
"Let's play..."
We were just a bunch of kids before, it’s good to get familiar with them.
Even though he didn't have much contact with children, his passivity was still there, and he was quickly accepted into their small group.
Now it's a different matter when there are other adults.
Jing Jing smiled, the corners of her mouth turned up.
"It seems you like children very much."
"No, no, no, I annoy children the most." Chen Xing said truthfully.
"It doesn't look like it..."
She wasn't really quiet, she was just nervous on the way here. She didn't know what kind of people Chen Fuyong's mother and father were. Now that people have seen them, they also found that Chen Fuyong's hometown is not as dirty and messy as other rural areas.
Very satisfied with this.
Moreover, Chen Xing looked so happy just now, and this happiness was passed on to himself.
Indeed, she really didn't mean to laugh at Chen Xing, but she was so happy when she saw this harmonious picture that she burst out laughing.
Chen Xing went to the corner to get his backpack and said, "Really, I was just invited by them. The atmosphere was so great that it's hard to refuse. You should understand. Where is your boyfriend?"
"He's still at home."
Chen Xing was about to leave. He also wanted to see the white tower behind the village. When he said goodbye to the children, the children also looked at each other. One of them said: "We don't want to play anymore. We will take you wherever you want to go."
You go."
"Yes, yes!"
"We can find it everywhere in the village. Let's take you there. Do you want to come and see our ancestral hall?"
"The ancestral hall is the most magnificent!"
“There are delicious things inside!”
Everyone was talking about where to take Chen Xing to play, and then pulled Chen Xing forward, completely ignoring Chen Xing's expression of being forced to go to work. Some people were asking An Jing if they wanted to go together, and An Jing shook her head. If she was seen walking with Chen Xing, it wouldn't be good if it spread here.
The layout of this village was different from the street layout that Chen Xing had seen. The twists and turns made Chen Xing not know where he was. But he liked the scenery along the way. These scenery were not mountains, rivers and lakes, but
It is a decoration on ancient buildings.
This village has been inherited for many years. I don’t know if there are any buildings from the Song Dynasty, but there are many buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they are all unique in style.
The exquisite wooden carvings are undoubtedly the most attractive, and there are also treasures among them.
These wooden withers are distributed in various places in the village, including beams, roofs, walls...
The contents are mostly stories about characters, including flowers, birds, fish and insects, and many exquisite textures. The shapes are very beautiful, and the characters have the style of domestic cartoons in the early years, lifelike, and the wrinkles of the clothes can be clearly seen.
These allegorical pictures of flowers, insects, birds and animals reflect the hobbies and pursuits of people in the village.
Chen Xing now understands that this is not an ordinary village with the same surname. It is probably a large clan with inheritance, because only large clans have such cohesion, and this cohesion is the link between family prosperity and prosperity.
Arrive at the ancestral hall.
But the ancestral hall is different from the school. There is someone on duty. He is an old man in his sixties. When he saw a child dragging a stranger over, he quickly walked out of the house and asked: "Kids, what are you going to do?" "Let's come over and take a look!" I don't know if Chen Xing gave them the confidence, but he said this with confidence.
"Yes, let's bring tourists over to see it!"
"Brother Chen Xing is also named Chen, let's bring him over to have a look!"
The old man rolled up his sleeves and wanted to scare the children, and said: "Can you just look at the family ancestral hall? I think you are too angry and don't know the rules. Come in, and I will call your father and ask them to come and teach you a lesson."
!"
As he walked over, the children dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Chen Xing standing here.
He can't run away, right?
He just feels that it is more relaxing to be with children, and he is not really a child. Adults naturally have an adult way of getting along.
After the old man drove away the children, he looked at Chen Xing. His expression no longer pretended to be vicious, but he was just curious.
"Do you want to see our ancestral hall?"
"No, I just wanted to see the White Tower over there, but they pulled me here."
The old man smiled and said: "It seems that the children like you very much. Come in. Your surname is Chen anyway. It's okay to come in and take a look. I'm just afraid that they will cause damage."
There is a plaque above the ancestral hall, which reads in large gold letters: [Chengxu Hall]
